| What the guides say | Guide |
|---|---|
| A more established, visible infestation generally means greater contamination risk around food prep surfaces, cabinets, and appliances, plus higher exposure to droppings, shed skins, and cockroach allergens. Cockroach droppings, saliva, body fragments, and shed skins contain proteins that can trigger allergic reactions and worsen asthma, particularly in children. | Cockroaches Seen During the Day: What It Really Means for Infestation Severity |
| A unit that is so dirty it attracts pests is one of the LTB's own examples of a situation that can lead to an eviction application. Keeping an untidy unit is not by itself a reason to evict. | Do Landlords Have to Pay for Cockroach Treatment in Ontario? |
| Start with the things that do not require a product. Health Canada's sanitation steps are to clean up spills right away, store food in sealed containers, clean damp areas regularly, keep garbage sealed, wash dishes promptly, vacuum often, and reduce moisture by insulating pipes and repairing leaks. | Roach Droppings vs Other Signs: How to Tell |
| Cockroach droppings, saliva, body fragments, and shed skin material can contribute to allergen exposure in the home. Cockroaches can make asthma worse and cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive, and cockroach allergens can be found in their body parts, saliva, and fecal matter. | Signs of Cockroaches Most People Miss Until It's Too Late |
